Employee killed when pinned between trailer and loading dock

On April 22, 1998, Employee #1 was beside a trailer to latch the tandem wheel locking pin after the tractor driver had moved the tandem wheels. The driver of the trailer backed up, apparently to couple the kingpin to the fifth wheel. Without checking to see if the initial coupling was successful, the driver backed up to recouple and pinned Employee #1 between the dock and the trailer. There is no explanation as to why Employee #1 squeezed between the trailer and dock. Another driver saw him maneuvering into the space and yelled "What are you doing?" but Employee #1 did not respond.
